Your meals carry your names
In the settings you rename, reorder, add or delete meals. “Breakfast, lunch, dinner” is only a starting point.
Topic: meal windows
Counting, even when you do not eat at the usual hours.
Intermittent fasting, night shifts, a shifted day, religious fasting: the rhythm changes, the nutrition rules do not. Radish logs what you eat at the hour you eat it, with sourced values. It takes no position on whether to fast, nor on any religious practice.
We detect your device to point you at the right store.
The principle
A dated diary, not a scheduled one
Radish has no mode dedicated to a particular practice, and promises none. It is a food diary with no imposed timings: you log a meal when you eat it, and the app shows where every value comes from. The feature is called meal windows — never “Ramadan mode”, because a feature named after one practice ends up serving only that practice.
Important: health questions linked to fasting — diabetes, pregnancy or breastfeeding, ongoing medical treatment, age, extreme heat — are for a doctor, not an app. If fasting carries a risk in your situation, that decision is taken with a healthcare professional.
Radish does not say whether to fast, or how. What it does: tie every food to its reference table when it appears in one — 19,474 foods, 18,180 of them sourced (measured 14/09/2026) from six public tables — ANSES Ciqual 2025, USDA, and the BLS, AUSNUT, CoFID and CNF national tables — and write “estimated” when a food is in none of them, rather than passing an estimate off as a measurement. The general reference points for a balanced diet and for hydration cited on this site come from ANSES and the World Health Organization; no traditional practice is presented as a nutritional fact.

Reminders, or none at all
Meal reminders can be set, moved, or switched off entirely. A fixed hour that means nothing to you has no business ringing.
A missed day is not a failure
A day you did not log goes into no average, and a missed day pauses the streak instead of resetting it.
Four examples
Four rhythms, the same diary
None of these rhythms is a setting in the app, and none of them is recommended by it. They are real situations, and here is what each one actually changes in a food diary.
Intermittent fasting
One or two eating occasions in the day: the total fits into a few lines, and the spread of protein, fibre and micronutrients can be read at a glance rather than held in your head.
Night work, shift patterns
“Breakfast” may land at 7 pm. Rename your meals, put them back in your own order, and switch off reminders tied to hours that are not yours.
A shifted day
Travel, caring, revision: no two days are alike. A day you did not log goes into no average, so one irregular week does not distort the reading of the others.
Religious fasting
Ramadan, Lent, Yom Kippur: Radish logs meals wherever you place them, with no dedicated mode and no position on the practice. It certifies no halal, kosher or ritual status.

A sourced example
A date at iftar, in actual numbers
Radish ties a food to its reference table when it appears in one, and shows its value as estimated when it does not, without presenting a traditional practice as a nutritional fact; the detail is on Methodology and Sources.

ANSES attaches a confidence code to every value, from A (highly reliable) to D (less reliable). For this record, energy and sugars carry code D, while fibre carries code A. We reproduce the published value without correcting it: the table's caveat is the table's.
Example display. The record name is kept in French, as ANSES publishes it. When a value is missing, the app writes “not reported” rather than a zero.
What gets lost along the way
The four things that slip through when meals shift
Drinks
Sweet tea, juice, fizzy drinks, the hot drinks of a night shift: these are diary lines like any other, and they are the first ones forgotten.
Eating outside meals
When there is no longer a mealtime, there is no longer a border between “a meal” and “the rest”. Adding a named meal that fits your rhythm is enough to make it visible.
Micronutrients
Across few eating occasions, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins are hard to keep track of in your head. The micronutrient breakdown for every food is free in Radish, with no cap on how often you look.
A warning sign from your body
Feeling faint, dizzy or unusually tired during a fast calls for medical advice, not for pressing on regardless. An app does not replace that judgement.
Frequently asked
About meal windows
Does Radish have a fasting mode or a Ramadan mode?
No, and that is deliberate: there is no mode dedicated to a particular practice. Radish is a food diary with no imposed timings — what it gives you is meal windows you define yourself. You log a meal when you eat it, you name and order your meals however you like in the settings, and you set or switch off the reminders. The rhythm stays yours.
Does Radish give medical advice about fasting?
No. Radish counts what you eat and shows where each value comes from; it takes no position on whether a fast is advisable. For any health question linked to fasting — diabetes, pregnancy or breastfeeding, ongoing treatment, age — a doctor is the right person to ask.
Does Radish take a position on a religious practice, or on what is halal?
No. Radish is not a religious authority and certifies no halal, kosher or ritual status: it stays strictly on nutritional intake.
Does a day without meals break my tracking?
No. A day you did not log goes into no average, and a missed day pauses the streak instead of resetting it. There is no guilt-tripping reminder and no streak to defend.
What if I work nights, or my hours change every week?
Nothing particular to set up: the meals are the ones you create and name, and reminders can be switched off if fixed hours mean nothing to you. The diary is dated, not scheduled.
